Jose Angel Gonzalez, accused of robbing a Harlingen Stars Drive-In on Friday evening, was arrested after a four-day man hunt.

Gonzales, also known as Pecker, was wanted for threatening a Stars Drive-In employee with a knife and demanding she hand over the cash in the register.

The suspect fled the scene after the employee handed him $55 in cash.

Early Tuesday morning a Harlingen police officer, looking for Gonzalez, stopped a suspicious Red Ford Taurus leaving an apartment complex on Markowski Street and Business 77.

The officer found Gonzalez hiding in the back seat and placed him under arrest.

Gonzalez faced aggravated robbery charges and his bond was set at $700,000.
